Today, I stumbled across my ex's blog. Apparently, while dating me, he realized he was gay. Good to know the one guy I've dated, lost my virginity to, and fell in love with, was never truly attracted to me and was dating me just to be sure. FML

The odds of him being gay and doing that or the odds of stumbling over his blog, that's the one that is getting me... It's not usually a good idea looking for an ex online.
*adds "you might find out they're gay" to the "reasons why not to" list*

Easier said than done... That was Op's first everything, and that's difficult to get over. And him being gay doesn't make it any easier; besides the part about the blog, the same thing happened to me a few months ago. It's awkward to even think about.

It always sucks losing your firsts to someone that does not like you ^^"
Happened to me too on Thursday :P
But being gay or not is kind of irrelevant, it's the feelings and how things got handled that counts :P

Much like high school, once you're out in the real world for a few years you come to realise that who, where and how you lose your virginity really doesn't matter much. Once it's over it's over, and most times you won't end up with that person anyway. It's just your first time, did you enjoy it when it happened? Yes? Then move on.

This seems like a stupid idea. Lots of people are gay and there's nothing wrong with that. Lots of people break up because that's the way life works until you meet that special person. but a double barrel shotgun isn't needed.

If you don't care, why comment? Why even respond in the first place?
You should have just said your comment was meant to be a joke, people might have believed that, but you just had to go and argue a stupid point.
Anyway, for those who follow your nonsensical bullshit, it says "while dating me, he realized he was gay". This means it wasn't until he engaged in the relationship that he found this out - which doesn't suggest he knew it and was just verifying it for himself. If you think coming to terms with who you are is a matter of waking up one day going "oh, I think I'm gay" then thinking you better fuck someone just to be sure, then you're stupider than you already sound.

I don't think many people have heard of things such as a "shotgun wedding". Meaning, some guy took the virginity of a girl, got her pregnant, and now he has to marry her or "daddy will get his shotgun" and go get the guy. I believe 5 was going off that sort of idea, using a girl for your own purposes then running off and her father wanting to harm him for hurting his little girl

64- I completely agree with you that teens usually do take it to the next level way too quickly, but I just wanted to throw this out there: I'll be 17 next month, my boyfriend will be 17 in August, we've been together since April 2009, and we are still virgins. We are in love and 100% faithful, but don't feel ready for that step yet.

Sorry about this post I just wanted people to know that there ARE somewhat-mature, semi-responsible teens out there :)
